I had that tag 3 years ago. It was a very fun hunt. I wen the opener expecting a ton of people. Yes, there were people but not like I thought. I saw several goats bigger than the 1 I shot in the night before and the next morning. A few of the bigger ones were hanging around private farms/ranches. But not all. I shot mine the opening afternoon. He had 6" cutters, 14+ inches tall with heavy mass. Scored 75 Inches. We went back 2 weeks later and saw way fewer antelope, but almost, if not, ZERO people. But not near the amount and quality we saw in the opener.

That's a great buck robiland! Thanks for sharing. The idea of getting to the antelope before everyone else always sounds good, but I'm really wanting to try a hunt later in the season. I've hunted antelope a few times with success but its always been during the first week of season. I've convinced myself that the next tag I get, I will wait and hunt a couple weeks into the season hoping for less people. Hopefully it doesn't backfire! Just need the tag now!

Dont worry all the hunters wont kill all the antelope opening weekend! lol. Alot of them will take smaller antelope when they have the opportunity and alot of antelope will move to parts of the unit that arent getting so much pressure and after the hunters thin out after the first few days you will have some good hunting with alot less hunters.
